A growing number of universities have started to use JASP in their statistics classes. Students like working with JASP, and the ability to annotate output provides new and exciting teaching opportunities; for instance, with JASP it is easy to pose questions, present interpretations, guide students through a chain of analyses, grade answers, and provide feedback.
JASP is still a work in progress, but many teachers find that the current version of JASP already meets their needs. If not, it may be that JASP will implement all the features you need before your semester begins. Feel free to contact us to talk about your needs!

There is something great about black-and-white photos. They make the picture look more artistic in a way. Here is a selection of several black-and-white animal photos taken out in the wild. They are so amazing that it would be a shame not to print them and put them in frames. We seem to forget how beautiful animals can be, especially in their natural environment.
The lightning and the angles are perfectly in harmony with the expression that the pictures give. But obviously not anyone can capture so dramatic yet beautiful pictures, not the mention the patience you must have, because wild animals or animals in general are not good posers. The photos are from several different photographers, but they have all done an amazing job. If you enjoy black-and-white photography you can take your time to look at stunning vintage photos of New York.

The challenges facing the globe, our societies and our economies, combined with changes in thinking expressed, for instance, in the King IV Report, suggest that the practice of ethics management will become increasingly prominent
In South Africa, ethics takes centre stage in leading practice documents in both the private and public sectors, including the King IV Report on Governance (2016) and the Public Service Integrity Management Framework ("the PSIMF").
According to the King Report, for instance, corporate governance is the exercise of ethical and effective leadership, and one of its primary outcomes is an ethical organisational culture. But achieving such laudable outcomes is easier said than done, and those having started this venture attest to challenges in motivating and implementing ethics programmes in organisations.
This publication is an anthology of essays from practitioners and academics in the field of Business Ethics, all within South Africa. It is the culmination of four "Ethics Forums" hosted by the Business Ethics Network of Africa and KPMG. The forums were held in 2015 and 2016, in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Stellenbosch and Port Elizabeth.

Denmark's legal IP scene is heating up, with large full-service firms expanding their trademark offerings to include prosecution and portfolio management – and, in the process, stepping on the toes of traditional agencies. Keen to have a single interface for all brand-related matters, clients are responding positively to this change; if agencies fail to think carefully about their own competitive advantages, the market could soon see a significant shake-up.
Dispensing an extensive array of services to a stellar range of clients, Horten boasts a well-rounded IP practice and wholly merits its position at the summit of the table in the WTR 1000 for 2018. Life sciences continues to be an area in which it excels but exciting work has also come in the manufacturing sector, with Jens Jakob Bugge assisting Hästens on a dispute with Nordicform over its invaluable blue checks figurative mark. "Bugge is a very talented litigator who heads an impressive amount of cases." On the prosecution side, Christian Kragelund stands out. He is "an extremely attentive and diligent practitioner with deep knowledge of trademark and domain name law" who is prized by Haribo.
Other recommended experts
Aumento Law Firm's Lisbet Andersen is superb when it comes to internet and domain name issues. "She's extremely quick and has an amazing track record in court." Janne Glæsel's technical knowledge is "unsurpassable" according to one interviewee. Having honed her versatile trademark practice over a 25-year career, she is Nyborg & Rørdam's leading light. Lars Karnøe at Bird & Bird is an all-rounder known for putting together unassailable filing strategies. The Danish Plastics Federation, which represents over 200 companies, chose him as its preferred IP partner in 2016 and 2017. Patrade's internationally minded Charlotte Rask Boddum likes to think big; she routinely presents clients with exciting ways to exploit their IP rights in foreign markets. Her teammate at Patrade Eva Aaen Skovbo is an "excellent strategist" whose clear, concise reports make easy reading for the C-suite.

Restful nights breed happier days, and I think we all deserve to wake up feeling refreshed more often than not. Learn how to fall asleep easier with this physician-approved relaxation technique (I've tried it and it's really helpful when I can't seem to get my brain to stop going, going, going).
"Sleep is when our soul actually refreshes our body." – Deepak Chopra
Also known as the Relaxing Breath exercise, the 4-7-8 breathing exercise purposefully alters the pattern of inhaling and exhaling, positively affecting blood pressure and heart rate, two systems closely linked to quality of sleep.
Introduced by Dr. Andrew Weil, this breathing trick promotes higher quality of sleep and acts as a portable antidote to stress. Stress is a major cause of sleepless nights, which might be why Dr. Weil describes this breathing exercise as a "natural tranquilizer for the nervous system."Sleep is spiritual practice. – Gabby Bernstein Click To Tweet
Harness the stress-melting power of meditative breathing with the following formula for restful nights (and happier mornings).
How to Fall Asleep Easier with the 4-7-8 Breathing Method
In a nutshell: Inhale through your nose for four seconds. Hold your breath for seven seconds. Exhale through your mouth for eight seconds. Repeat (at least) four times.
Dr. Weil recommends sitting with your back straight while learning this exercise. He also mentions that if you feel lightheaded in the beginning, it is not cause for concern and it will pass.
- Place the tip of your tongue against the ridge of tissue just behind your upper front teeth, and keep it there through the entire exercise.
- Exhale completely through your mouth around your tongue, making a whoosh sound. Try pursing your lips if this feels awkward.
- Close your mouth and inhale quietly through your nose to a mental count of four.
- Hold your breath for a count of seven.
- Exhale completely through your mouth, making a whoosh sound to a count of eight.
- This is one breath. Now inhale again and repeat three more times for a total of four cycles.
You can also read these steps here.Focusing intently on rhythmic breathing is an accessible and effective way to create calm. Click To Tweet
Keep to the ratio of 4:7:8 in order to experience the full beneficial effects. In your first month of practice, do not inhale for more than four breaths; you can increase the count to eight later on if you wish.
Practice this Deep Breathing Exercise During the Day
The 4-7-8 breathing method can be applied as a soothing balm for stressful moments during your day, too.
In the presence of internal tension or external confrontation, return to this simple breathing tool—plus, if you practice using your breath as a tool during the day, it will be easier to implement when you're trying to fall asleep at night.
Though subtle at first, this exercise gains in power with repetition and practice. The more you practice deep, rhythmic breathing, the more powerful the effects of each breath become. You cannot practice this method too often, and when you do forget (because we all forget), it's easy to come back to.
I've also found the SODA method to be helpful in stressful situations, and this nightly routine might bring you peace. Journaling about your emotions, how your day went, and tomorrow's tasks before bedtime is another sleep-friendly practice.
- Have you tried (and liked) this or any other breathing exercises to relieve stress or fall asleep?
- What nightly routines or peaceful thoughts have made falling asleep easier for you?
Please share your favorite stress-relief practices, positive changes you've made in your sleeping habits, and any refreshing advice or ideas with me in the comments.
Share this post with someone who could use a good night's sleep.
In moments of stress and joy, of exhaustion and vitality, always return to your breath—it's always here for you, to help you live a life filled with peace, passion, adventure, and enough sleep.
With love,

Spa Facial Therapies at Skin Care Institute
Aquaclean Facial
The Aquaclean Facial uses regulated heat from the patented Thermoclean Electrode triggering hyper-secretion of sweat and sebaceous glands to clean pores and rid skin of oil and toxins while individually prescribed gel is massaged into the face. Skin is clearer, brighter, more hydrated and able to breathe.
Dermaplaning removes the outer layers of dead skin cells and the soft, vellus hair on the face, leaving smoother, softer, hair-free skin while mildly stimulating collagen. A great alternative to waxing.
Isolaz™ Laser Acne Therapy
The only FDA approved laser system to treat comedonal and pustular acne. This treatment purifies and literally drains your pores from the inside. The Isolaz™ deep pore laser therapy system combines vacuum and laser to destroy acne causing bacteria giving immediate results of drying and flattening pimples within 24–48 hours.
Spa Facials
Face $90 (Allow 60 Minutes)
Face, Neck and Chest $120 (Allow 75 Minutes)
All facials include a paraffin hand treatment.
Age Summit Facial
Experience the new, innovative anti-aging treatment for face, neck and chest that delivers immediate results for a youthful glow using pure vitamin C, hyaluronic acid and a pro-collagen mask. Skin is visibly more radiant, healthy looking, firm, and hydrated while fine lines and wrinkles are diminished and softened after one treatment.
Hydradermie Facial
A unique and complete concept in facial skin care, the Hydradermie Facial has been exclusively created by Guinot Laboratories in Paris. Botanical gels are penetrated into the skin with a mild galvanic current using products specifically designed to re-hydrate, oxygenate, desensitize, firm and normalize the skin.

This luxurious treatment combines our popular Parisian botanical gel facial with a neck and chest treatment as well as a spa eye treatment for a truly rejuvenating and pampering 90-minute experience. Treat yourself to intense hydration and revitalization for an unparalleled radiant glow! This treatment is beloved by brides-to-be.
Beaute Neuve Facial
The Beaute Neuve Facial utilizes the extraordinary benefits of fruit acids combined with the fruit enzymes of papaya and pineapple to transform sluggish, dull skin to a radiant complexion. This facial minimizes fine lines and hyper-pigmentation. A distinctive difference from the traditional AHA facial. (Please discontinue use of Retin-A 72 hours before and after this facial.)
Liftosome Facial
Tired skin is renewed into definition and elasticity through the use of Vitamin C. You are treated to a self-heating thermal mask that gradually increases the penetration of the firming serum and cream. As a result, contours are visibly relaxed and your skin becomes soft and smooth with a renewed radiance.
Deep Pore Cleansing Facial
The Deep Pore Cleansing Facial begins with an in-depth skin analysis, followed by deep cleansing, exfoliation, and extraction, if necessary. You luxuriate in a gentle vapor as your skin is restored to softness by expert hands. This will result in a clearer, more beautiful complexion free of clogged pores. Perfect for all skin types and can be customized to teenage acne-prone skin or gentlemen's skin.
Spa Facial Add-Ons
Remove the visible signs of aging through exfoliation using a blade. Dermaplaning helps in the removal of soft, vellus hair on the face, leaving smoother, softer, and hair free skin.

SANTA ANA — County officials, playing legal hardball in their bid to find new jail beds, have enraged city of Orange officials by maintaining that a key agreement on the future of the Theo Lacy Branch Jail was never binding.
The agreement, hailed as a "watershed" after its signing by county and Orange officials in June, 1990, was designed to cap the number of inmates at the minimum-security jail in Orange.
Because of that agreement, Orange officials quickly dropped a lawsuit against the county that sought to block a 518-bed expansion at Theo Lacy on environmental grounds. That project is expected to be completed by the end of the year and cost $60 million.
But last week county officials proposed that the county expand the capacity at Theo Lacy still further as a short-term solution to jail crowding.

Hafiz on Sun and Earth
My philosophy teacher here at Andover shared a very good poem today in one of his meditation emails. It's by Hafiz. I think it encapsulates that one should not always expect something in return for the nice things that one might do to someone else.
Even after
All this time
The sun never says to the earth,
"You owe me."
What happens
With a love like that:
It lights the

About the itemCornelian is an ancient gem whose use we can trace back to the romans and the Minoans. A silica based mineral, it can be finished to a high polish, and for that reason was used in ancient times to make seals, as wax would not stick to its glossy surface.Today we use it in jewelery as its bright, warm colour and robust hardness makes it suited to everyday wear. Practitioners who use crystals for healing link it to the root and sacral chakra's, and encourage its use to discourage negativity, give energy and encourage toxins to be dispelled.Our gorgeous little flat sections of African Carnelian with a subtle polish make these drops a great addition to your rosa necklace. Each bead measures approx 25mm x 20mm. Cornelian is also the stone of the sacral chakra and is said to dispel apathy and sorrowAll our charms and pendants are suitable for our Rosa Necklaces, however some are in our opinion are probably too big for Rosa Bracelets. This pendant is suitable for Rosa Necklaces, or any other appropriate necklace, but we don't recommend it for bracelets.Dimensions:Length = 2.5cm (1.0 inches)Width = 2cm (0.8 inches)Weight = 10gStock Code: 40000792

I add tags to my Triond articles, I believe most writers do. Sometimes when I submit articles to Triond, the tags or search phrases on my article mysteriously disappear and are replaced by the words Life, Me, and You. Why does this tag problem occur?
I am not aware if other writers have experienced this strange tag occurrence on Triond. I have noticed that relevant keywords and key phrases placed under 'Tags' on some of my articles disappear and are replaced with the words Life, Me, and You. Is this occurrence common? It's strange, rather mysterious! I mean, I have toadd tags all over again when this happens. Are Triond administrators aware of this tag problem? Does this happen if there are too many tags on an article, or if the tags are irrelevant? Please give me some answers.

2017 Litigation Management Institute
Presented by the Claims and Litigation Management Alliance, the Litigation Management Institute (LMI) is the first certification program specifically designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the business of litigation management. The program is designed to bridge the gap between legal theory and litigation strategy, and the business aspects of litigation management. Each of the courses is a combination of pre-work and in-class course instruction, and each evening, small groups will work on projects related to the course material covered that day. Upon successful completion of the program, participants will receive the Certified Litigation Management Professional (CLMP) designation.
The 2017 Litigation Management Institute will be hosted at Loyola Law October 19th-October 22nd.
A limited number of students will be able to attend this great tuition-based program, free of charge! This is the perfect opportunity for those interested in insurance defense to learn a great deal and network with practicing attorneys and claims adjustors.
All available student registrations were given out on a first come, first serve, basis and are now filled.
To learn more about the conference visit: https://www.theclm.org/Event/ShowEventDescription/6482
Here is what our students who attended the program in 2016 had to say:
"Choosing to participate in the Litigation Management Institute was one of the best decisions I've made in my time at Loyola. Any student who intends to practice in insurance defense should absolutely try to get into the LMI. Even though the program was only one weekend, I learned a ton about effectively managing an insurance defense practice, as well as substantive insurance issues that don't get talked about in law school. I also now have the benefit of being a "Certified Litigation Management Professional," which is a highly esteemed designation typically reserved for professionals with at least 15 years of industry experience. I am certain that this will give me an edge over other recent graduates during interviews and in the course of my practice. Furthermore, as a young professional, the LMI was also a tremendous networking opportunity. The program places a large emphasis on small group work. I was able to form relationships with a group of professionals that I sincerely admire and respect, and I'm confident that those relationships will be ongoing. In short, I cannot say enough about how great of an experience the LMI was and I would highly recommend it to any law student who intends to be an insurance defense lawyer."
-Jon Sommerfeld, JD 2017
"Being invited to participate in the Litigation Management Institute was an enriching experience. The weekend long program exposed me to various topics related to insurance defense litigation and equipped me with skills that I can apply to my future career. As a student participant, I was welcomed by those running the conference and the professionals who were in attendance. Furthermore, I was encouraged to contribute in the small group activities and discussions. At the end of LMI, I became a "Certified Litigation Management Professional." However, the most valuable thing I received was the immense support from the insurance professionals and attorneys in my group. As a law student who is about to enter the professional world, the support I received was invaluable."
-Reama Malki, JD 2017

GAP EDDF: This Is Going To Piss Some Of You Off.../
FSX/P3D. Without a doubt, with Flightbeam appearing to be out of the running, this is indeed the Frankfurt to get (although I fully indend to poke and prod Mir about this at FlightSimCon next month) although this variant may lack many of the newer visual features more and more developers are implementing, no one can argue it blows the last version right out of the water and is by far the best we will have. So as long as the performance is good, I fully support it. Or at least I did... According to Mathijs Kok and I quote: "...I can now also confirm SODE will not be supported." This is likely going to upset maybe one or two of you.
I know many of you were not pleased to see the new Berlin Tegel did not support SODE but AES instead which leaves out the P3D crowd which I think is safe to say is DOMINATING these days. What I have to assume is this technology being developed for Prague that will have animated jetbridges will be rolled out among Frankfurt & Berlin. At least this is what I hope... Thanks to ADX readers Christian Trotter & Zachary Kerr for the tipoff.
I used to make such a big deal about animated jetways when I first started with ADX all those years ago and I used to get a lot of negative feedback from some readers. A lot of people felt animated jetways were not necessary and was pointless to the simulated flying experience just like parking lots and interior modeling. Oh how things change... Orbx, here's lookin at you kid!

I was a wee bit sluggish this morning. Woke up around 4 and couldn't get back to sleep. I decided to get up, have some cereal and sit a spell in the soaking tub with a cup of coffee. I never got back to sleep. We had an 11am ferry to Robben Island so we strolled from our apartment down to the waterfront.
This will not be a very perky post. Robben Island is an isolated island that has served as a prison since the 1600's but more notably is that it was the location Nelson Mandela was held as a political prisoner for 18 of his 27 years behind bars, along with many other anti–apartheid activists.
Unlike kitschy Alcatraz and their mobster clientele, this prison wasn't just about convicts. This prison was about injustice based solely on one's skin color and the constant struggle to be heard, to be counted, to be equal. At this time visitors are not allowed to freely walk the island. We traveled by bus and at the end were lead through the prison by a former political prisoner. Like war vets they are old, and like Mandela, soon they too will be gone and there will be no one left to tell the firsthand account of their experience. It was an honor.
I found it very hard to take pictures. I cringed watching tourists pose in front of prison cells. But that' just me.

This enables us to give more time and attention to each dancer and supply them with the necessary tools they need to achieve their goals.
What is dance?
It is very difficult to provide exact definitions of dance, because over the centuries, dance itself has morphed into countless beautiful, overlapping and still developing forms; but we'll give it a try. Hint: the best way to know what class is right for you...just do it! Click on each dance discipline to your left for a description of what each style entails.

I didn't stay too long because of the weather but I bought some lovely things from the art stalls and snapped a few fun pics to capture the feel of the day. Here are a few of my favourites.

In the case of "No Match, No Vote," the worries seem exaggerated. The law's provisions are liberal and accommodating to potential voters.
Heaven knows the state of Florida has had its election foul-ups in recent years. Thankfully, Marion County has been largely spared those woes, and to their credit, state elections officials have tried to correct the flaws, even spending millions to fix the corrections, as when those easily hacked touch-screen voting machines some counties purchased were junked.
Still, some groups are warning that thousands of people could be disenfranchised by a 2006 law that requires people seeking to verify voters' identity by providing a driver's license, a state-issued identification card, or their Social Security number.
Since Marion County elections officials have told us they have fielded numerous calls about this issue, we would like to clarify the matter.
Civil rights groups had sued the state, saying it was unconstitutional and that the state's databases were unreliable and frequently erroneous. They lost in appellate court in the summer and the law, commonly known as "No Match, No Vote," which had been suspended since December 2007, went back into effect on Sept. 8.
The problems some minority voters faced at polling places in Florida in both the 2000 and 2004 elections merit concern. We must remain vigilant in ensuring everyone is allowed every opportunity to properly register and subsequently exercise their right to vote, especially in an election as important and intensely followed as this one.
In the case of "No Match, No Vote," however, the worries seem exaggerated.
For one thing, if you are among the 10.7 million registered voters in Florida, including 209,375 in Marion County, who were registered before Sept. 8, the change does not affect you. To obtain a ballot, a voter must present one of the 10 different approved forms of identification - a driver's license, state ID card, U.S. passport, debit or credit card, military or student ID, or identification from a retirement center, neighborhood association, or as a public assistance recipient. You can obtain a state ID card from the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles for $8.25 by providing a birth certificate, valid U.S. passport, or certificate of naturalization and a second form of identification, including a school record, baptismal or marriage certificate, insurance policy, military ID card or Social Security card.
Moreover, people who want to vote in November must register by Oct. 6, and to do that, they must provide a Florida driver's license or ID card number, or the last four digits of their Social Security number. That number will be checked in the state's database or that of the Social Security Administration. If the name associated with that number matches the person, no problem. They will be registered.
Applicants whose numbers cannot be matched will be notified that they are "unverified," which typically occurs because of typographical errors, transposed numbers, or the use of nicknames. They are then asked to submit a copy of their ID by mail, e-mail, fax or in person - even on Election Day - and they are still allowed to vote.
People who cannot be immediately verified, or people who do not submit either a driver's license or Social Security number at the moment they seek to register, will be provided a provisional ballot that will be held until 5 p.m. of the day after the election. If they can submit the requisite proof of identification to elections officials by that time, their vote will be recorded and counted.
These provisions, designed to prevent voter fraud, are liberal and accommodating to potential voters. It's difficult to imagine that someone does not have the means to comply, or cannot meet the obligations within the 40 days left before the Nov. 4 election. To illustrate that, Elections Supervisor Dee Brown's office reports that 2,100 people have registered to vote since the process restarted on Sept. 8, and only 10 have been declared "unverified."
We encourage people with questions to contact Brown's office at 352-620-3290, or at email@example.com, or go there in person at 981 N.E. 16th St. in the Anthony Industrial Complex in Ocala.
Interest is high in this election. Already, nearly 22,000 absentee ballots have been requested in Marion county alone, and Brown's staff expects that number to reach 35,000, with another 15,000 people participating in early voting, which begins Oct. 20. In other words, 25 percent of registered voters will cast a ballot before Nov. 4.
Don't let wrong information or hype about possible abuse keep you from participating in the selection of our leaders.

Zoltán Grecsó
Zoltán Grecsó is a freelancer dancer and choreographer. In 2014 he received the Fülöp Viktor scholarship and the artistic secretary of the Amateur Dance Association.Since 2011 he teaches at the University of Theatre and Film Arts. He participated in nearly 60 productions in my 10 years of work. In 2009 he founded his own studio, Willany Leó Improvisational Dance Theatre.
Zoltán Grecsó (official page): http://grecso.com
Willany Leó (facebook page): https://www.facebook.com/willanyleoimpromuhely
Zoltán Grecsó's and Beatrix Simkó's duo puts Orpheus' and Eurydice's mythos in today's conditions, giving a special interpretation to this so many times presented love story.
This is an exciting challenge, to code this momentary collision, presenting dissonance and diversity in the language of motions only. Dance allows to show the mainspring of human relationships, the internal forces generating unsolvable conflicts. In their duo, Beatrix Simkó and Zoltán Grecsó accumulate their experience of years of working together, using Dániel Dömölky's clear scenography construction, in the atmosphere created by sound designer Ábris Gryllus.
Choreography, dance: Beatrix Simkó, Zoltán Grecsó
Music: Ábris Gryllus
Set design: Dániel Dömölky
Costum: Petra Földi
Premiere: 22nd of October, 2016
SUPPOTERS: Ministry of Human Resources, National Cultural Fund, Comedy Theatre Budapest, Workshop Fundation, Sín Production, Spicc Studio, Movein Studio, Eötvös 10, Pro Progressione, PUR E, DNN, deephoto

"Wednesday evening, 10 o'clock, questions, turning on and switching, releasing and bonding, flashes and lights, answers. All this in one word: Willany Leó. The dance theater's nights are one-shot and irreproducible since they are improvisational. All the spectators' reception, presence and concentration have as much influence on the performances as the dancers' creative energies. They are thinking and make others think about art once in a week, in the Spicc Studio in Király street on Wednesday evenings."
The weekly improvisational workshop started in 2008 and it is very popular between youngsters since then. They also work as community building evenings but their main goal is to find the beginning and the end of art.

APIs can be used for a web based system, an operating system, or for a database. They also make it possible for large services to allow third party applications to essentially piggyback on their offerings by exposing some of a program's internal functions to the outside world, but in a limited way. Applications can share data and take action, without code sharing required.
Most of us already use APIs regularly, whether signing in to a new application with your Facebook ID or linking through from an application to Google Maps.
What this means in the accounting world is that your cloud accounting platform becomes your central hub, and your account data can be used to make your business processes more efficient. For example, connecting your Xero account with Debtor Daddy enables you to automate your debtors chasing process with data from your receivables.
I've written about the rise of platform-as-a-service here, with the Xero ecosystem now having over 400 accounting software add-ons that can provide instant capabilities for a business owner. Xero has always had an open, or public API, alongside a robust developer support community. As a technology firm, giving open access has meant enrichment of its core offering. This approach has given it a competitive advantage, making it the go-to cloud accounting software for the SMB market.
Why should we care?
The great thing about competition in the market is we all lift our game in response (well, or we don't. But that never ends well). It's an exciting time to be in the accounting industry where there are now so many possibilities for efficiency gains. With the move away from compliance work to business advisory services, keeping up with third party applications is more important than ever.
There may also be ways you can integrate APIs into your own business, for example by using Zapier to connect the apps you use. You could potentially fire up an HTTP client to make a few requests to get quick stats from a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application, create a simple program to complete a labour intensive data task, or move data regularly between two SaaS apps.
In many ways all business are becoming technology businesses. Consider ways your firm can leverage technology for your own competitive advantage.

SUNRISE -- With legs that propel them at 23 mph and noses that can track criminals from crime scenes to their homes, the city`s police dogs are as effective as any weapon in the department`s arsenal.
``They`re not out to kill anyone, just to stop them,`` said Daryn Lupo, one of three officers in the Sunrise Police Department`s K-9 unit. ``You can send a dog after someone when you can`t shoot a gun, and the dog doesn`t miss.``
Canines are considered non-lethal weapons by the United States Supreme Court.
The three Sunrise police dogs, all German shepherds, have a track record of assisting with seven arrests since joining the force at the end of last year. They also passed state certification tests with flying colors on Feb. 28, the dogs` handlers said.
Lupo`s dog, Quax, and Officer Tim McMillen`s dog, Hans, were trained in West Germany. Both officers purchased the dogs with their own money last summer and keep them at their homes.
Dingo, trained in the United States and handled by Officer Sandy Sundburg, is credited with the unit`s first felony arrest on March 1.
Dingo chased a burglary suspect through an unoccupied Chinese restaurant and over a concrete wall before trapping him in a holly bush.
It was a relatively easy arrest because the suspect offered no resistance, Sundberg said. Dingo ``just stood there and looked at the guy.``
A fear of dogs is enough to stop many criminals in their tracks, Lupo said. Most of those stopped by the dogs so far have been suspects in prowling or burglary incidents.

ADrive Review
For 1000GB of storage for just $2.50 per month, ADrive's high storage capacity for super low prices is all some users need to make ADrove work for them, despite some ...
ADrive started in 2007 by veteran IT professionals who specialized in the network and online storage industry. They wanted to meet the demands of their data-intensive world and offer higher storage capacities and more features to accommodate today's online storage customer. Today they offer their online storage to individuals, businesses and enterprises.
ADrive is an affordable alternative with an astounding 50GB of free space.
- Up to 50GB of free storage space
- Free 60-day trial for premium plans
- Secure file transfer
- Sharing and syncing capable
- Online editing capabilities (with installed third party app)
- Free version supported by ads
- Security issues with free version
- No Linux, NAS or external hard drive support
- Limited tech support
- File versions only saved for seven days
- No desktop app with free version
Access: (Rating: 10/10)
ADrive, like most cloud storage companies, is easy to access. You can securely access, manage and restore files via the online app at any time and from anywhere. They also have Android and Apple mobile apps so that you can access your files on the go. They support Mac OSX and Windows, but do not support Linux. There is a downloaded desktop app, which is the easiest way to work with ADrive, because then it works like a virtual external hard drive – and you enable all the easy access and backup features that way too. Online, you can manage permissions, add users (if your account permits users), and more.
Backup: (Rating: 7/10)
Because ADrive operates like a virtual external hard-drive, backing up files is as easy as saving to an external. You just select the program and save your file to ADrive. You can also do a drag-and-drop into the online system as well as the downloaded desktop app. There are file size limitations, but it is 16GB at a time – which most users will not pass up. You can also edit your files via ADrive online, using the Zoho Editor installed app. You can also transfer files to your account via SCP, SFTP and Rsync. Backups are automatic, but only if you make changes in the ADrive account. Otherwise, they are daily. You cannot backup external hard drives or NAS drives.
Restore: (Rating: 6/10)
Changes and versions are only saved for seven days max on ADrive. Restoring files is easier, because all you have to do is download the desktop app to access your files right away. You can also access any file you want online. You can recover from the trash, but storage is limited and if you want to recover a version, it must be within seven days of originally editing it or it will be deleted from the server.
Share: (Rating: 9/10)
You are able to share folders and files from your ADrive account. You can create a share link via the online portal, then send that link to family and friends. When you upload files, you can opt for a file to be shared publicly too. These show up as a basic list of files, but the overall process is not very impressive. You can, however, set permissions and passwords for those you share files and folders with – ensuring everything stays secure. Conflicted copies may arise if two people are working on the same file from their desktop, but via Zoho Editor everything is synced automatically. You can also set expiration dates for shared files.
Sync: (Rating: 7/10)
As long as you have the desktop app, everything will sync automatically as you change it. Files will also sync if you make changes directly from the online portal via Zoho Editor. But, because files are incrementally backed up and synced via the desktop app, the latest version may not be available until everything is backed up fully.
Security: (Rating: 4/10)
Security is as it is expected with most cloud storage providers. ADrive offers client encrypted file transfer and storage, but again, you must remember to set your folders to private after uploading them. They do not own or maintain their own servers, but data is stored on geo-redundant servers in hardened facilities. At this time, they do not offer a remote wipe feature. Unfortunately, free accounts do not get the same security as Premium accounts. So, free users may actually be putting their personal information at risk using ADrive.
Help & Support: (Rating: 5/10)
ADrive uses the typical tech support ticket submission system online. Guides are difficult to access, so most users may have to rely on tech support for answers to their questions. While they say the offer phone support, the phone number to call is non-existent on their website. The user forums can also offer some insight.
Users can opt for a free 60-day trial for premium accounts before paying.
Personal Basic: Up to 50GB of free storage. Allows online file sharing, anytime access and file synchronizing, documents can be edited online and easy search tool is included. This version is supported by third-party advertisements and does not feature same security. This account is free.
Personal Premium: Up to 20TB of storage space, but starts with 100GB. Access all ADrive features, including security, secure file transfer, online editing/sharing/syncing, desktop app and more. Starts at $2.50 per month or $25 per year after free trial.

What We Like About ADrive
Free Storage up to 50GB: ADrive does give a generous amount of storage space up for free. Users who have a lot of photos, music or videos can enjoy the free storage space until they run out.
Free 60-Day Trial: If you are weary about ADrive, the good news is you don't have to commit to a contract or deal with the ad-cluttered free version. Instead, you can try their premium plan free for 60 days and see if you like it.
Fairly Affordable: When compared to others, their premium account starts at $2.50 per month for 100GB of storage and access to all of their security features, tech support, file sharing and desktop features. This price is rather affordable compared to other cloud storage providers.
What We Don't Like About ADrive
Free Account Comes with Serious Limitations and Issues: The free account, while great, has no SSL encryption. Users' files are up for grabs, there is no tech support, the program is supported by third-party advertisements and the free account users can only access via the online app (no desktop or mobile support). All of the features that make ADrive great are gone with the free account.
File Versions are Limited: ADrive only keeps file versions for 7 days. As a company that boasts about their online sharing and collaboration, limiting people to just one week of versions defeats the purpose. A collaborative folder that needs to restore to an older version past one week may be better off using Dropbox or Box.com instead of ADrive.
Tech Support is Limited: While they claim they have 24/7 tech support, it is all via a ticket submission system. So, you cannot receive answers right away. They do not have a clear tech support phone number and their online forums are limited. The guides online are not adequate supplement and not as in-depth as other online cloud storage providers.
No Linux, External or NAS: When people search for online cloud storage providers, they may want to automatically back up their external or even a NAS drive. ADrive will not be able to help. And, if you have a Linux-based computer, you won't be able to use ADrive.
Not Automatic: Backups are not automatic, exactly. If you use the online system and editor, then everything is changed from the moment you make a change. But, from the desktop app, everything is incremental. Which means you will only have access to the latest changes since the last full backup – which is only twice a day.
Trying to be a Collaborative Suite: ADrive tries to be a collaborative suite by offering online editing, but this is done via a third-party app, Zoho Editor. Other online collaborative suites offer better functionality and less hiccups.
How to Backup with ADrive
ADrive allows you to backup via desktop and the web. But, since free accounts do not use the desktop version, it is best to learn how to backup via the web first. And, the desktop app is straightforward – just drag and drop to save to ADrive. Because the desktop app doesn't automatically backup, you may want to use the online app anyway to ensure changes are automatic.
1. Sign in to your ADrive account.
2. From the main menu, you can create automatic backups. Schedule them for daily, weekly or monthly – depending on how often you expect to make changes.
3. Click on Add New Job.
4. Name the backup job.
5. Choose the files and folders, then the remote folder you wish to store them in.
6. Schedule the backup.
7. Save the job and it will begin as scheduled.
How to Restore with ADrive
Because backups are incremental from the desktop, you will want to restore from the online portal rather than the downloaded software.
1. Sign in to your online account.
2. Go to My Files.
3. Locate the file or folder you wish to restore, select it and then click Restore.
4. Select location for restore or download straight from the web.
Remember that versions are stored for only seven days, which you can see under My Files or View Last Log to see changes.

Parachuting Cats into Borneo
And Other Lessons from the Change Café
A toolkit of proven strategies and practices for building capacity and creating transformation
Recent years have seen a proliferation of information on how to make change—in business, in social and environmental movements, and on a more personal scale. But, even with all this attention, two out of three change efforts fail to achieve their desired result. How can you make your own effort buck this trend?
In Parachuting Cats into Borneo, change-management experts Axel Klimek and Alan AtKisson offer crisp, concise, and targeted advice for success. They expose the most significant impediments—helping readers recognize their habitual patterns of thinking and perceiving a situation, critique their own beliefs regarding change, and then move beyond these unhelpful patterns using improved systems thinking.
Named after a classic tale of unintended consequences, Parachuting Cats into Borneo delivers tools that help leaders and others keep their change initiatives on track. The advice imparted will help you move away from agonizing over immediate problems toward stoking action, identifying collaborators, focusing at the right level for your cause, and aiding others in pursuing their change.
Klimek and AtKisson draw from their decades of helping corporations, networks, governments, and NGOs reach their change goals to demonstrate how to use system-based change tools to their maximum advantage.
A closing section is devoted to change making in the realm of sustainability, where complexity abounds but the right tools, used well, can help us tackle some of the most significant challenges of our time.
Reviews and Praise
"This short paperback's title belies its importance as a serious commentary on the importance of creating and implementing an organizational culture embracing transformational change. Under the backdrop of an informal café meeting, the authors (cofounders of the Center for Sustainability Transformation) provide a unique perspective and a thought-provoking exploration into the dynamics of change in organizational leadership and the traditional psychological, cultural, and institutional barriers of the existing organizational ethos. Based on their professional experiences, the 16 well-written and readable chapters illustrate a framework and methodology that embrace the need for change and the engagement of all stakeholders in successful programs of organizational transformation. Klimek and Atkisson suggest not just a do-it-yourself checklist or one size fits all solution, but a schematic for creating an atmosphere encouraging an internal dialogue that will empower all participants to accept long-term change as an intrinsic part of organizational success, so that the schematic becomes the catalyst of a positive, systematic, and strategic environment regarding change and its impact on organizational sustainability. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty."
More Reviews and Praise
Publishers Weekly-
"AtKisson (Believing Cassandra) and Klimek, cofounders of the Center for Sustainability Transformation, offer a shrewd and discerning look at systemic change within organizations and the many obstacles to such change. The coauthors do not claim to have a one-size-fits-all solution, rather telling the reader that the 'answers are already there within yourself' or close at hand, among your colleagues. However, they do urge readers to shift the odds in their favor by building on existing knowledge, seeking out new viewpoints, becoming more mindful of ingrained habits, and focusing on their strengths and resources. Klimek and AtKisson offer up 'four big questions:' 'What basic beliefs do we have?'; 'What method do we have for supporting a system to move from state A to state B?'; 'What is our relationship to the system?'; and 'How can we increase the capacity of the system not just to change but to improve performance?' Elsewhere, they identify seven different ways of approaching change, including 'following a plan,' 'negotiating an outcome,' and 'enforcing the future.' They close with insightful chapters on supporting others, coaching, and leadership that will be particularly valuable when initiating change but should be equally beneficial to daily work life."
"Change is difficult, and usually takes time, but this book gave me hope that change will happen, whatever time it takes, and guided me through the appropriate sequence of steps I should take to achieve my mission—slowly but steadily. The book presents a combination of concern, determination, and faith: concern about people and nature, the determination to continue the path, and the faith that what we are doing is right. I received this book on June 11 and started reading it the morning of June 12. I powered off my mobile, and I went on reading 'til the afternoon of June 13. At that time I discovered that it was my birthday; I think that this book was the best birthday present I had this year!"--Boshra Salem, director, Office of International Relations, Alexandria University; member, Women in Science Hall of Fame
"I've been waiting for this book, from these gentlemen, for years. Decades of distilled experience, insight, wisdom, guidance, and delight about engaging the most challenging parts of change—people and groups of people. (Technological innovation is simple by comparison.) Only one in three change initiatives succeed, the authors tell us. This little book, and the thoughtful systems and tools it offers, might just help you boost your odds."--Gil Friend, chairman and CEO, Natural Logic, Inc.
"Parachuting Cats into Borneo takes change management off the white board and places it into your own hands—inviting you into a café conversation with the authors, who put together a thoughtful collection of practical tools that I found valuable even after 25 years in the sustainability and social change field. Grab a pen and some paper (and a coffee!). This book will take you on a thought journey, best when you have a change process and goal in mind. And who doesn't?"--Gillian Martin Mehers, managing director, Bright Green Learning; coauthor of The Climate Change Playbook
"Welcome to the world café—where it's raining, well, cats. Axel Klimek and Alan AtKisson are hosting. Slow down, relax, and prepare to change the way you think about change."--John Elkington, co-founder, Environmental Data Services (ENDS), SustainAbility, and Volans; coauthor of The Breakthrough Challenge
"We live in times of continuous accelerating change—as I have personally experienced—and yet we have difficulty adapting to it. That's human nature: We like the comfort of stability and predictability. Here Klimek and AtKisson draw a short and very easy-to-read roadmap for implementing sustainable change. A great effort and recommended reading."--Nani Falco Beccalli, former President and CEO, GE Europe
"Parachuting Cats into Borneo is a great guidebook for leaders and individuals who want to create transformational changes in any society, community, organization, workspace, or family they are a part of. The authors have done a great job illuminating not only the most up-to-date 'skills and knowledge' on change processes, such as a system approach and coaching, but also 'attitude and being,' or how leaders can develop themselves and cultivate organizational cultures. I have been using these approaches in Japan and elsewhere in the world, and they have proven to be effective in work for many clients across sectors."--Riichiro Oda, president and CEO, Change Agent, Inc.
"The one thing we all have more and more of is CHANGE, and we all need to become more skillful in navigating through it. Klimek and AtKisson are great companions to have with you on your change journey, providing guidance, great stories, and good company."--Peter Hawkins, Professor of Leadership, Henley Business School; chairman, Renewal Associates
"This book is a must for anyone who is involved in change processes toward a more equitable, humane, and environmentally friendly world. It is not the usual 'how to do and get what you want' instruction book. No recipes, no safe or proven success guidelines, no software program for making changes happen! It is a book about personal and group empowerment. It orients readers to become agents of change based on their own resources and their own creative ideas. And all this for a common purpose: to reach a more sustainable future for all."--Ortwin Renn, scientific director, Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies
"Parachuting Cats is a small book with a really big bag of tools for the change agent's toolkit—describing how, when, and where each can best be used. Some are tools for personal change that make one a more effective change agent; others are tools for helping organizations and communities create lasting change. Highly recommend for all sustainability professionals or anyone working to make the world a better place. I could and will reread this book at least ten times and get more out of it each time."--Maureen Hart, executive director, International Society of Sustainability Professionals
"An apparently endless stream of conferences and workshops is applauding the big transformation toward sustainable development. And is tiring. Real action is not following suit. I see a growing disconnect between advocacy and personal behavior (and the behavior of advocates' home institutions). Yet never before has humankind been in a better position to successfully end hunger and poverty within the limits of ecological boundaries. Never before have there been so many experts and campaigners dedicated to making this planet a better place. But, strangely enough, all this does not yet deliver. Action is often halted. Advanced thinking is often restricted to special interest groups. Experts are arguing within the boundaries of their own unconnected communities. That is why this book is timely. The authors bridge change attitudes on the personal level and the structural level. They help us understand (and change) the patterns of our very habitudes—and, fortunately, they never forget the importance of changing vested interests and political structures in a democratic society. Absorbing Klimek and AtKisson's recommendations has added value to both my thinking and acting."--Günther Bachmann, secretary general, German Council for Sustainable Development; advisor to the Global Network of National Councils for Sustainable Development
"Spanning change management, leadership, strategy, and spirituality, Klimek and AtKisson's volume is an indispensable guide for current and would-be sustainability leaders."--Michael Kobori, vice president of sustainability, Levi Strauss & Co.
"Parachuting Cats offers a deep dive into what it takes for our economies and our families to flourish within Earth's finite limits. For all the attention paid to technologies, policies, leadership, and 'corporate social responsibility,' creating the change we want to see in the world means understanding how societies and institutions transform. In the end, it's the system, stupid, that needs transforming. Klimek and AtKisson tell us how to do that. This is a vital read for our turbulent times."--Joel Makower, chairman and executive editor, GreenBiz Group; coauthor of The New Grand Strategy
"Many of us need to change ourselves or to bring about change through our work but always get stuck in a rut because we need confirmation to do the right thing. This book helps us enter into conversations to see within and around us and to make that so-needed transformation."--Bience Gawanas, former commissioner for Social Affairs, African Union
"A fascinating account of the cultural, psychological, and institutional barriers that prevent more change programs from succeeding – and how to overcome them."--Paul Polman, CEO, Unilever
"As a funder, I was drawn to organizations that had both a clear vision for the future and an approach to the inevitable difficulties of change. If this valuable toolkit had been around, I would have sent a copy with every grant check."--David Grant, former president and CEO, Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation; author of The Social Profit Handbook

text: Allright last night i opened a support ticket questioning why they sell people Goods for reseller prices when they're not exactly reselling if their goods come from Hong Kong (AKA mainland china) which is where Bamboo and DealExtreme ship out there goods from. Basically what i'm saying is that Gadgetgear is like DX except they rip you off they claim they ship from Hong Kong to keep operating costs low, and their right it does keep operating costs down, so they can pocket the money that would have ordinarily gone to operating costs of being a retail reseller and supplier. They sent me this email in reply > Dear (Name removed), > > Our customer support team personnel has replied to your support request #555713 : > > Thanks for your email. > > We do stock the flash cards locally. They are shipped from Sydney via Express Post, and we charge $10 for shipping. If you order today, we ship the next day and you will get your order within 2 days.> > Bamboogaming ships their products from China and also without the packaging, while we ship with the packaging AND locally from Sydney. > > We have also just revised our prices, please visit our site again to see the updated prices. > > > We hope this response has sufficiently answered your questions. If not, please do not send another email. Instead, follow the link below to update this ticket: > > (link removed) > > Regards, > James > Customer Service > GadgetGear.com.au I went and checked and the prices don't seem to have changed, i can't remember what they were before but if anything they seem more expensive. but the thing is note the bold and underlined text, BEFORE i sent this email their site said that they hold ALL gaming Accessories in Hong Kong and non gaming accessories in their Sydney Warehouse. Now it says they keep a majority of their products in Sydney Originally it did not, but now I'm guessing they are changing the way their doing things because i figured them out, unfortunately i did not record or retain any proof of what they claimed before, because i really do not think this is a very serious matter, and honestly didn't give that much of a damn. i just found it funny to take the piss out of a site that rips people off, but oh well if their going to make proper shipments now that take 2 days (and btw i wonder how they did that from hong kong?) they have changed their shipping costs to 10$ i believe this is because now orders for shipments from hong kong now use express to give the impression its being kept on mainland Australia. But oh well, i can't remember that much because i didn't think it's as big of a deal like a restaurant that cooks expired food, or a store that stocks contaminated poisonous meat products containing mercury or some shit, but yeah. I don't know what to think now, they went and made changes to their site all because of my email? I Kinda wished that i did take snapshots of their original shipping and conditions but meh, to quote Robert Ripley BELIEVE IT OR NOT! Seeya. JPH edit - Don't double post, please. Posts merged.

Not too long ago, Victorino Curup, a 31-year-old immigrant from a small town in the Guatemalan highlands, faced a bleak holiday season.
Unemployed, he spoke so little English that he was turned down for a job at a Lexington Market vegetable stand. Then he learned work was available through a church in Canton.
"In our situation as Hispanics who can't speak English, it is very difficult," Mr. Curup said in Spanish. "In certain situations, you have to know the basics of English to work."
